Chapter 637 Marriage Is Nice Josieâs playful demeanor faded slightly as she expressed her disapproval. âNo, that wonât do⦠Itâs a working trip. I canât fully enjoy it when thereâs work involved.â
Dexter amusedly responded, âYouâre quite hard to satisfy, arenât you?â
He gently lifted Josie up and playfully threw her onto the soft bed. He followed closely, leaning over her, and whispered, âThen, when we have time, Iâll take you there.â
With the man so close, Josie blushed. She avoided his intense gaze, responding softly with at slight hum.
In the morning, light streamed through the car windows as Josie drank her milk, her fair skin. adorned with a rosy hue. Her drowsy state revealed the effects of insufficient sleep.
Sitting in the back seat, Larry reported to Dexter, âMr. Russell, here are Markâs medical records.â
Dexter quickly scanned the records, inquiring, âHas Summer or the head of the investment bank taken any action yet?â
Larry responded, âThey havenât made any moves yet. I believe the investment bank is also hesitant, considering the interests of the old and new bosses. I think we can trust Mr. Hensleyâs judgment for now.â
Dexter, signing various contracts before him, chuckled with a tinge of disdain. âWhat if the new boss proves to be more powerful?â Dexter remarked, implicating that the head of the investment bank, Mr.
Hensley, might abandon the old boss for its stronger competitor.
Larry was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to come up with a satisfactory response.
âNot everyone has a conscience,â Dexter added, his expression thoughtful.
Just then, Josie opened her eyes. She shook the milk bottle, saying, âI canât finish it, Dexter.â
Interrupting his work, Dexter put aside the contracts and took over the bottle, finishing the remaining milk at her behest.
Larry found himself somewhat stunned. Having worked with Dexter for so long, he knew hist habits and preferences well. Dexter had always been a black coffee enthusiast, showing no interest in anything else. But now, he has even started drinking milk.
Dexter noticed Larryâs perplexed gaze and raised an eyebrow. âWhat are you looking at?â
Larry stammered, âItâs nothing⦠I just noticed that married men do seem to change.â
Dexterâs lips curved into a faint smile as he glanced affectionately at Josie, who pretended to nap.
âMarriage is nice. You should try it too.â
Larry was taken aback by Dexterâs teasing remark, unsure how to respond. He replied humbly, âI am not as fortunate as you, Mr. Russell. I donât even have a girlfriend.â
âItâs not too late to find one. If you ever need anything, just let me know,â Dexter replied, his tone lighthearted and teasing.
The sound of Dexterâs pen scratching against the paper filled the air. He appeared truly at ease and content under the warm rays of sunlight.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they found Mark Olsenâs floor heavily guarded by vigilant bodyguards with strict access control. They were clearly closely guarding against any news about Markâs illness leaking out.
Standing outside the hospital room, they realized all the tight security measures had proven futile.
âMr. Olsen, I think we should reconsider this. The company should not be handed over to Ms. Olsen so hastily,â came a voice from inside the room. Several middle-aged individuals who appeared to be shareholders were sitting around Mark Olsenâs bedside, offering relentless advice.
Standing by the side, Claudia addressed the shareholders calmly, âI understand what youâre saying.
You came so early just to talk about these trivial matters. Do you think Summer isnât capable?â
Mark lay in bed, and his eyes closed as if pretending to be asleep.
âMrs. Olsen, we didnât mean to undermine Ms. Olsenâs capability. We just think that sheâs still young and too impulsive to handle such a huge responsibility,â one of the shareholders explained.
âMr. Olsen has already made a decision, proving sheâs qualified. You are all acting above. station as shareholders,â Claudia replied calmly and composedly, defending Summer.
your Just then, several people emerged from the elevator. Arnold and Summer led the group. and they werenât surprised to see Dexter and Josie waiting outside.
âYou came early, Dex,â Arnold remarked nonchalantly.
